#hashem — Public Fediverse posts

🚨 A major attack on the southern suburbs of #Beirut, #Lebanon - the goal was to strike meeting of the #Hezbollah commanders, including the successor to the recently eliminated #Nasrallah!

It is not yet clear if this new boss #Hashem #Safieddine was also killed.

Hezbollah has a serious internal security problem, probably shouldn't hold such meetings....

Dear ה׳‎ ‎ (#HaShem), please stop putting things on top of «on top of «on top»». Three days in a row is quite a lot in addition to the things already on my shoulders.
– Sincerely yours, a #grieving #neurodivergent (#AuDHD ) and #disabled little jew

As Yaakov and his family head down to Egypt the #Torah, in this week's #Parsha calls him #Yisrael (which makes sense since his name was already changed). But as #Hashem calls to him in a dream, he is referred to by his old name, #Yaakov (twice, in fact).
Why the old name? And why twice?

Poem time!

Six-Year-Old Theologian by Robert H. Deluty, from his collection The Matter of Families.

Six-Year-Old Theologian

Uncommonly solemn
He sadly concludes
There’s one thing
God simply can’t do –
Have a birthday party

This week's #Torah #Kasha #Parsha #LechLecha #Judaism

In #yeshiva, I learned that promises of good or rewards in #Tanakh are guaranteed, but promises of punishments are not neccesary, they 're like warnings. So for example when #Hashem promises success through the #Navi, it's guaranteed, but if He promises #exile, it's possible to avoid it.

If so, then why did so many #Rishonim try to calculate the #400years of slavery? Why didn't they just say "The warning no longer applied after ~200 years"
